When you say “distinct compute nodes,” are they at least on the same network fabric?
If so, the first thing I’d try would be to create a new partition that encompasses all of the nodes of the other two partitions.

Is there any way to launch an MPI job on a group of distributed nodes from two or more partitions, where each partition has distinct compute nodes? I've looked at the heterogeneous job support but it creates two-separate jobs. If there is no such capability with the current Slurm, I'd like to hear any recommendations or suggestions.
